Fang Xian launched a campaign of forced affection. The beloved Qian Bao had nowhere to escape, and with a chatty monk constantly asking him about the story of the dog-pee flower, the poor man found himself trapped in a nest of monks. Clutching a cup of Mee-Pu Milk Tea that Fang Xian had given him, Qian Bao stood amidst the crowd, small, helpless, and utterly overwhelmed.
But the power of milk tea was great.
The moment Qian Bao took his first sip, he forgave Fang Xian’s domineering behavior and willingly joined the far more authoritative circle known as milk tea.
Milk tea addiction was contagious.
Many ascetics went from rejection, to curiosity, to convincing themselves that one cup wouldn’t affect their cultivation, before finally sinking completely into the delicious trap of milk tea.
“I like the Mee-Pu Milk Tea. It’s rich and satisfying.”
“I like the Berry Milk Cap. A bite of fruit, a mouthful of slush, then some milk cap—absolutely amazing.”
“Does nobody like the overnight lemon tea?”
“Overnight is the best!”
The customers chatted enthusiastically.
Having received perfect reviews, Lu Wu glanced at the system.
[Mission Progress: 222/2500]
The goal was still far too ambitious.
She needed to keep working hard.
When it was finally time to close up for the day, Lu Wu packed away her stall. By then, the sun was already high overhead.
Part of Tianfo Temple was open to visitors, and at little monk Tian Hui’s invitation, Lu Wu stepped inside.
As for Chan Yu and Xia Yi—
Lu Wu stroked her chin while watching the two leave together.
A charming demoness who had seen countless men and a cold-hearted Buddhist prodigy devoted to the path of enlightenment.
A top-tier ship.
I’m shipping it. Definitely shipping it.
The temple grounds were vast, filled with shades of red and gold.
Monks moved about the solemn buildings. Some recited scriptures with lowered eyes, while others practiced their techniques.
“Hello, Boss Lu.”
“Boss Lu, would you like to stay for a vegetarian meal?”
“Boss Lu, let me show you around.”
Everywhere she went, monks greeted her warmly.
Surrounded by a crowd of followers, Lu Wu barely paid attention to the scenery. Instead, she felt remarkably like an official conducting an inspection.
“Mm, comrades, hello. Comrades, you’ve worked hard.”
The words slipped out automatically.
Faced with the monks’ puzzled looks, Lu Wu laughed awkwardly.
After touring for a while, she noticed many handsome young monks.
And whenever her gaze lingered on one of them for even a moment longer than usual, that monk would somehow appear again and again along her route, as though by coincidence.
After accidentally running into the same monk for the eleventh time, Lu Wu declared that she was tired and needed to rest.
Time to run.
This wasn’t a temple.
This was a demon cave.
Little monks, don’t even think about disturbing my Dao heart.
The path down the mountain was steep and precipitous.
Looking down from the clouds, the bottom was nowhere in sight.
The winding mountain road remained shrouded in mist. The ascetics could only rely on their own legs to travel, while Lu Wu simply teamed up with her stall.
This time, however, none of the ascetics gave her strange looks.
Leaving them far behind, she quickly reached the foot of the mountain.
Lu Wu released the two little beasts that had been cooped up inside the pocket realm and let them run wild while she headed to the market to buy more ingredients.
Business on the first day had been decent.
But if she wanted to complete the mission, she needed more new customers.
《Wanted Notice: Boss Lu Wanted. Photo Attached Below.》
When Lu Wu saw a wanted notice featuring herself on One-Realm Connect, she initially thought she had committed some terrible crime.
After opening it, however, she discovered that it was simply a group of hungry customers desperately searching for her location.
This time she had traveled quite far away.
Many customers were still wandering around Yuanhai City and Hong’an City.
Even if they started traveling now, it would take time for them to arrive.
In order to complete her mission sooner, Lu Wu decided to infiltrate the customer community herself.
To understand customers was to better eliminate customers—
Ahem.
To better serve customers.
As a member of the food-service industry, Lu Wu possessed the highest level of professional dedication.
Still, personally joining the discussion felt a bit like awkwardly running into acquaintances online.
After some thought, she put on a disguise and cautiously posted:
“Brothers, would you believe me if I told you I saw Boss Lu in Yaoxian Town? My heavens, I finally saw her in person. She’s not photogenic at all—Boss Lu is way prettier than her photos.”
Yaoxian Town was the closest town to Tianfo Temple and also Lu Wu’s current base of operations.
Based on her past experience in the entertainment industry, comments like these should attract swarms of fans.
After posting similar messages under several threads, Lu Wu sat back and waited for customers to arrive.
Unfortunately, reality proved that some of Blue Star’s experiences were completely unsuitable for the Qingyuan Realm.
Especially when dealing with Boss Lu’s customer base.
“Heh. This is obviously fake.”
“I agree. Anyone who meets Boss Lu and talks about her looks instead of asking where she’s setting up her stall is definitely lying.”
“Everyone, be careful. Boss Lu’s too popular lately. Lots of haters are sneaking in wearing disguises. Don’t get fooled.”
“I’ve seen this user named ‘Little Chef Lu’ posting under several threads. Probably just chasing clout. Remember to block her.”
“Hey, look at this photo I just found. Doesn’t this person look a bit like Boss Lu?”
“She really does. Come on, let’s go ask.”
Reading the replies left Lu Wu utterly confused.
The real Boss Lu was ignored.
The fake Boss Lus got all the attention.
She clicked over to inspect the supposed sighting and immediately realized the person was just imitating her to attract traffic.
They didn’t even dare show their face.
Fake.
All of them were fake!
Lu Wu was so angry she wanted to personally expose the fraud.
“Pictures or it didn’t happen!”
To prove she was the real one, Lu Wu uploaded a photo in a fit of indignation.
Da Huang and Huo Huo had taken it for her.
In the picture, she was shopping for ingredients in the marketplace. Her familiar profile wore a smile.
She was certain her customers would recognize her instantly.
“Look who’s back. This little hater again. Just look at how blurry that photo is. Who knows if it’s been edited?”
“Exactly. The harder you try to prove it, the guiltier you look.”
“Guys, I found another suspicious Boss Lu candidate. Charge!”
“Send the location. I’m coming.”
Lu Wu suffered a second crushing defeat.
She stared at the image, fuming.
So what if her spirit beasts didn’t have hands and took blurry photos?
“Fine, cards on the table. I am Lu Wu!”
Watching the customers stray farther and farther from the truth, Lu Wu finally revealed her identity to prove her innocence.
She even attached a blurry selfie.
Surely this would convince them.
But she had forgotten something.
Her customers were all delightfully unhinged.
Every single one of them.
The moment she posted that statement, they burst into laughter.
“Quick, look! She’s getting desperate. Do you believe she’s Boss Lu, or do you believe I’m the Buddha?”
“Buddha above, I offer ten years of my brother’s lifespan. Please guide me to Boss Lu’s location.”
“I’m a disciple of the Buddhist Sect. I can confirm this is indeed the Buddha.”
???
No, seriously.
These customers were treating her like some prank target.
Why was she suddenly not Boss Lu anymore?
Given:
I am Lu Wu.
Prove:
I am Boss Lu.
How exactly was she supposed to solve this problem?
